We want to hear from you

For more than four decades, this paper’s sole mission has been to provide the Chugiak-Eagle River community with as much local news and information as possible. And with your help, we’d like to spend the next 40 years doing the same thing.

Over the past year, you may have noticed we’ve increased how much emphasis we’ve put into developing our online presence. Now, along with our well-known print product, you can also find the Star’s content on places like Facebook (www.facebook.com/alaskastar), Twitter (@Alaska_Star) or at our website, www.alaskastar.com.

Between these various platforms, we’re trying to become not only a weekly source of news, but a daily portal into the world of Chugiak-Eagle River.

By following us online and adding our home page to your bookmarks, you can have a wealth of information at your fingertips — from breaking news to online schedules and sports results to a calendar of daily events happening both in our area and elsewhere in Alaska.

Along with allowing us to more quickly and comprehensively deliver your local news, these online platforms also give us a way to more easily interact with our readers. Want to submit a community event? Simply visit www.alaskastar.com and create a user name and profile on our calendar page, then post away! Got a hot news tip? Send us a message or link through Facebook, drop us an email at editor@alaskastar.com or even shoot us a direct message on Twitter.

Our goal — as is has been for 41 years — is to give you the news you need to stay informed about what’s happening around this very unique Alaska community. We invite your feedback, and rest assured that any questions, concerns or comments you have about YOUR newspaper will be taken very seriously. We want to be the best paper we can be, and we believe the best way to do that is to engage our readers on a constant basis. Without you, our loyal readers, there could be no Chugiak-Eagle River Star.

Of course, if you want to talk to us in person, please don’t hesitate to call us (the old fashioned way) at 694-2727 or even stop by our office at 11041 Old Glenn Highway (in the Eagle River Shopping Center) to say hi!
